The article in TheAthletic.com that complicates the Jets’ effort to hire a high-end G.M. and coach contains plenty of interesting nuggets.
We posted one earlier — the influence of Madden ratings on personnel decisions.
The item also alleges that owner Woody Johnson, his wife, and his sons have criticized players inside the locker room.
Per the report, quarterback Mike White entered the locker room after a late-season loss to the Seahawks. He threw his helmet onto the floor before heading to the shower.
Jets players reportedly heard Woody say this: “You should throwing your helmet, you fucking suck.”
The Jets, through a spokesperson, confirmed that it happened — and that Johnson apologized to White.
It’s stunning that it happened. It’s stunning that the Jets admit it happened.
It won’t be stunning if this report dramatically impacts the ability of the Jets to hire the coach they want, to hire the G.M. they prefer, and to attract free agents without having to overpay.
